All my life, I've had a sneaking suspicion that I've been raw-dogging ADHD. My approach has always been that there's no need to diagnose something unless it's causing you major problems.
Becoming a father, however, made me revisit my stance. It turns out that when you've spent most of your adult life self-regulating through intense work sessions and milking dopamine hits from dropping cool shit on the internet to strangers, having that taken away overnight does things to you…
I'm happy to say that I've now got my papers stamped and approved, and I've just started testing out some meds. It's kind of funny that the Western approach to this is basically: "Hey, do you want some amphetamines?" 😂 Wish me luck
